As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

What’s the best way to bring your AI agent ideas to life: a sleek, no-code platform or the raw power of a programming language? It’s a question that sparks debate among developers, entrepreneurs, and ...

As OpenAI seeks more ways to make money, ChatGPT’s potential as a shopping assistant is one promising idea: You tell the bot what you’re thinking about buying, and it will help you make comparisons, ...

Children often surprise us with their natural problem-solving skills. A new study shows that they can discover efficient algorithms on their own. Researchers Huiwen Alex Yang, Bill D. Thompson, and ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

A key question in artificial intelligence is how often models go beyond just regurgitating and remixing what they have learned and produce truly novel ideas or insights. A new project from Google ...
